What Happens In Vegas

An intriguing start to the season has been met with rumblings and calls for one of the general manager’s jobs in the Elite Fantasy League. Black Hole Son has been met with several injuries in several key positions. Quarterback Dak Prescott continues to have lat soreness which he is rehabbing throughout the week. Before the official kickoff last week Black Hole Son’s front office got cold feet and dealt, Dak Prescott. Over the course of the last two and a half weeks, Black Hole Son has made seven trades! This is a new record. In a year where many felt there wasn’t going to be many trades there has been more than we could remember in recent memory. Not only has the front office in Vegas been rolling the dice more than the craps table, but they’ve been playing roulette with their draft picks like they are being forced to play Russian roulette. Buds Bums holds The Busy Killers 4th Rounder that was sent to Black Hole Son for Dak Prescott and Wayne Gallup after Black Hole Son and Buds Bums made a trade. The Busy Killers holds PURPLEHAZE’s 6th Rounder and Black Hole Son’s 7th Rounder, VanillaGorilla’s holds Black Hole Son’s 5th Rounder, and PURPLEHAZE holds Black Hole Son’s 2022 1st Round, 4th Round, and 11th Round.

Wheelin' & Dealin'

Black Hole Son in 2022 has two 5th Rounders (Buds Bums/PURPLEHAZE’s). PURPLEHAZE’s 10th Round, two 12th Rounders (PURPLEHAZE/The Busy Killers), and VanillaGorilla’s 15th Round pick. Just because you reside in Las Vegas, Sin City, a city of bright lights and a million casinos doesn’t mean you have to gamble your present and future away. What happens in Vegas surely doesn’t stay in Vegas when it comes to Black Hole Son. Although fans have complained about wanting their general manager canned, that happening is very unlikely. Before these Vegas fans and Oakland fans who will make the trip to Sin City in week 3 for the season opener, their beloved Black Hole Son’s will be traveling to Green Bay, Wisconsin to face off against LilShupeScoresBIGPoints. Both teams sitting at 0-1 after two heartbreaking defeats, going 0-2 is something neither team wants to face. Derek Carr played lights out last week against the defending Super Bowl Champions and almost pulled out the upset. Josh Allen didn’t have the type of game many expected against Evolution. The game wasn’t the home opener LilShupeScoresBIGPoints was hoping for, but now it’s time to reset and focus on week 2. LilShupeScoresBIGPoints will be looking for big points from Josh Allen and this potent offense, as well as expecting a boost from the foot of Graham Gano who is one of the better kickers in the league. Black Hole Son will continue to ignore the media frenzy and calls for the head of the general manager in hopes for a better outing from Ezekial Elliot and freshly acquired Devin Singletary which can take the pressure off Derek Carr who if he doesn’t have to be the magic man will have the opportunity to lead a balanced offense against LilShupeScoresBIGPoints. Being only their fourth meeting in the regular season all-time neither team has a specific edge over one another, although Black Hole Son leads the all-time record 2-1.

For the two teams that handed the L’s to Black Hole Son and LilShupeScoresBIGPoints, they will continue to look to build on the week 1 success. The defending Super Bowl Champions, Yuba City Sultans remain at home after holding onto the narrow victory against Black Hole Son in the home-opener and annual Thursday Night Football season kick-off game. Yuba City Sultans welcomes into their home the only 0-1 team within their division. Buds Bums, Lamar Jackson, and company enter Newark, New Jersey to welcome the defending champs in the Midwest-Atlantic Division. With the shift in the division when BroncosTillDeath sold their team and the Nashville Crocs became an official franchise, the Sultans are going to have to become familiar with three teams who have been in the same division against each other for many years now. 4-1 all-time against Buds Bums, Yuba City Sultans are most likely not shaking in their cleats.

Sultans Riding High

Through the years, Buds Bums have only had one winning season (2018); while Yuba City Sultans had four winning seasons, including last year when they ran all the way on the back of Derek Henry to the Super Bowl Title. Buds Bums has been in the league one season more than Yuba City Sultans but looking at their overall win/loss/tie record you can see completely different stories. Buds Bums holds a 32-65-2 overall, with this coming Sunday being their 100th game in franchise history. Yuba City Sultans on the other hand holds a 46-39-0 overall franchise record. Two teams who came into the EFL almost simultaneously but have had two completely different journeys. For Buds Bums to change the course of their journey, it starts with this game against the defending Super Bowl Champions. Evolution on the other hand surprised LilShupeScoresBIGPoints posting the second-most points in week 1. Evolution now travels across the country to face Hyrule Empire who had a difficult defeat in week 1. Evolution now travels across the country to face Hyrule Empire who had a difficult defeat in week 1. Traveling across the country will be tough to adjust to the time difference, not just that but Evolution is going to have to maintain the same high level of play they showed in week 1 in week 2 if they want a chance to defeat Hyrule Empire. Joe Burrow looked poised last week against VanillaGorilla’s but the early injury Mostert sustained hindered Hyrule Empire to get their running game established. For Hyrule Empire to find success in week 2, they will need to continue to rely heavily on Burrow to stay consistent and get a running game established early.

Burrow Poised To Succeed

Burrow is still young but has a lot of poise that screams veteran quarterback! Trevor Lawrence for Evolution looked more like a rookie than even Burrow did in his rookie campaign. It should be a fun game between two young and hungry quarterbacks. Overall this game may come down to which quarterback doesn’t turn the ball over more. That is why establishing the running game early is so important. Joe Mixon stands atop the leading rushers after week 1 but Hyrule Empire has a very shifty running game and two speedsters. Yes, losing Mostert is a big blow to this team that has Super Bowl aspirations; but the next-man-up approach always has to be something considered in football. Eli Mitchell will be ready to go. Hyrule Empire has a group of speed and shifty players in all positions including defense. Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, and the rest of the defense will be licking their lips at the chance to get after rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Evolution and Hyrule Empire haven’t met each other much over the course of the Elite Fantasy League, much like LilShupeScoresBIGPoints and Black Hole Son - but neither team will come on that field unsure of what the task is. Both coaches will have their teams ready, but for Evolution, it isn’t just battling Hyrule Empire, it’s battling the pacific timezone.

Another South-East team that has to travel to the Pacific timezone is the 0-1 Crocs. The Crocs along with Evolution will both be playing games in California in South-East division versus Pacific division match-ups. The Crocs will be flying out of Nashville late Friday night and land early morning in California. The Crocs got a taste of what the Elite Fantasy League is all about is a game that came down to the wire. The Crocs fell in 0-1 against division rival The Canadian Cripplers but showed many that they have what it takes to hang against these seasoned EFL teams. Now a week into the season and sitting at 0-1, the Crocs have a chance to push their record to an even .500 when they go against Black Mambas. Black Mambas was able to shut Aaron Rodgers down and do a ton of damage through the air with veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. In another difficult game, Black Mambas defense will have to shut down Kyler Murray who is looking like a contender for league MVP. This being their first game against one another, the only tape footage that Black Mambas can use is what happened last week on the field against The Canadian Cripplers. The Cripplers couldn’t shut down Murray who at times looked unstoppable out there. He has all the tangibles to be one of the very best quarterbacks but as we mentioned on the opposite side of the field is exactly that; one of the very best quarterbacks. Matthew Stafford showed us that he is rejuvenated being in a new location and has all the focus and drive to push Black Mambas back to the postseason. Get ready, because this game between Stafford and Murray will be one that we don’t forget.

Patrick Mahomes, David Montgomery, and rookie receiver Ja’Marr Chase all had some huge games last week. Do you know who else did? Tyreek Hill, George Kittle, and Rob Gronkowski. At 1-1 in the all-time match-up between these two teams - I think this could very well be the highest scoring affair in week two. Balls Deep traveling to Cincinnati in week two gets a chance to pull their record to 1-1 and take the rubber match against Straight Edge Society. It’s been a while since we have seen Straight Edge Society as a dominant team in the EFL, but something tells me those days are going to be a distant memory this season. Balls Deep lost a tough one last week late, but they have no reason to hang their heads. In fact, Balls Deep should be inspired by the defeat and motivated to find a way to close out early.

Lance Or Jimmy G?

TJ Watt should continue to be motivated after the big payday prior to the season starting and tasting the bitter feelings of defeat, he’ll want to lead his defense over Patrick Mahomes the man who was voted number one in the Top 100 Players of 2020. Jimmy Garoppolo looked good last weekend but the decision to run Trey Lance out there makes one wonder if these are special gadget plays specifically for Lance or if Balls Deep is trying to get the rookie quarterback reps, no matter how little they may be. You can’t tell me Jimmy G couldn’t have dumped a short 5-yard end route to his receiver into the endzone as Trey Lance did. For Balls Deep to be successful this week against Straight Edge Society and their high powered offense, they will have to allow Jimmy Garoppolo to remain in that huddle. Any form of gadget plays that bring Lance in will only hurt Jimmy G’s ability to continue the chemistry building between him and his receivers. Trey Lance is a special talent and I understand why Balls Deep wants to bring him on the field, but you exposed yourself in week one. Straight Edge Society now knows what packages you have highlighted for Trey Lance. This affair between these two teams should be a fun one. A game that may come down to who has the ball last and which defense can sustain the opposing offense.

Ultimate Savages and The Canadian Cripplers are both playing back-to-back divisional games. Both teams went 1-0 against their week 1 divisional opponents, now playing another divisional game they have a chance to get an early lead within their divisions. The Canadian Cripplers are on back-to-back road division games early. This is a tough test but for a team that is based in Canada, it can be an even bigger pain. Lucky for them though, if they go 2-0 now they will be hosting these two teams later in the season when the weather in Canada becomes a bit more frigid. For The Canadian Cripplers, they travel to Dallas, Texas to face off against their biggest rival, The Busy Killers. The Busy Killers took a remarkable late week 1 lead against Balls Deep and was able to hang on. For The Busy Killers, this is a game that brings flashbacks to the minds of the players and coaches. Week 14 last year The Cripplers hammered the final nail in the coffin of The Busy Killers ending their postseason hopes. Week 2 is a chance for revenge. This game against two rivals will again most likely be decided on the foot of their kickers. Evenly matched in many areas on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, once again the game will be on the foot of their kickers. Bank on it to happen. The team that has the ball last will heavily have to rely on their kicker to seal the game. Last week The Busy Killers sealed their game with the foot of their kicker, The Canadian Cripplers on the other hand was able to seal their game with a late turnover.

Rodgers Versus McCaffery

Crosby didn’t have many chances due to a defense that was rushing all day, but The Busy Killers are more familiar with The Canadian Cripplers antics than the Crocs so Crosby will have to be ready at a moments notice. Ultimate Savages and Rainelo Hawks renew their rivalry also. This just like The Busy Killers is a chance for revenge for Rainelo Hawks. The Rainelo Hawks needed a win last year in week 14 to capture their division. Instead, they failed to win and fell 0-2 against Ultimate Savages. Both teams reside in Seattle, the travel time isn’t bad at all but being the “Away” team in your own stadium has got to feel different. For Ultimate Savages, they will get to experience that. Unphased last season with this Ultimate Savages will look to continue the punishment and take the city of Seattle from Rainelo Hawks who has long been established there. Rainelo Hawks and Aaron Rodgers got to get things figured out because several media analysts believe Rodgers may not be “all in” when it comes to football. We know one thing though, usually when Rodgers has a terrible game, the next game he ends up putting up around 3-5 touchdowns and over 400 yards. Should we go back to R-E-L-A-X; cause I believe Rainelo Hawks and Rodgers will be just fine.

Last week we got a treat when Rainelo Hawks and Black Mambas renewed their old rivalry back from the days they were in the same division. Week 2 we get another chance to enjoy an old division rivalry being renewed. PURPLEHAZE travels to Chicago to take on VanillaGorilla’s. These two teams go back a long time. This isn’t only an old division rivalry being renewed for the sixteenth time, but it is a Super Bowl III rematch where VanillaGorilla’s defeated PURPLEHAZE. VanillaGorilla’s was able to pull out a huge victory over Hyrule Empire last week, even on the heels of star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. being ruled out right before kickoff. VanillaGorilla’s was the number 1 seed last year in the postseason and they looked just as well last week. The defending Mountain-West Division Champions, PURPLEHAZE didn’t have an answer for Ultimate Savages last week. Much like Black Hole Son, PURPLEHAZE has been surprisingly active within the trade market. For PURPLEHAZE though, they have acquired quite a bit of extra early-round draft picks while giving little away. PURPLEHAZE looks like a team that is focused on trying to win now but is also building for the future. Nothing is certain and nothing

Rivalry Renewed

suggests that PURPLEHAZE is giving up on the 2021 season; instead, they are just securing what they can for the next several years while hoping for a successful 15th season. VanillaGorilla’s holds the overall win/loss/tie record over ex-rival PURPLEHAZE at 9-6-0. Last week we saw Russell Wilson cook and boy did he look refreshed to be in a new city. Throwing for 254 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions, we talk about Kyler Murray being a favorite for league MVP, but Wilson will and should be in that conversation too. Losing Josh Jacobs for this game will be a tough go for PURPLEHAZE. Acquiring rookie Kenneth Gainwell and Brandin Cooks from Black Hole Son for Devin Singletary should help but having to rely on rookie running backs might be too much to ask for.PURPLEHAZE and VanillaGorilla’s aren’t unfamiliar with each other though and that gives PURPLEHAZE a better chance against this dominant Chicago franchise. If you think for one moment that PURPLEHAZE will lay down for VanillaGorilla’s you’ve got another thing coming. Yes, VanillaGorilla’s are favored. Yes, they have the better team but any given Sunday, anything can happen. PURPLEHAZE and VanillaGorilla’s met last season in week 2 where VanillaGorilla’s put a shellacking to PURPLEHAZE - Though many feel PURPLEHAZE may be the worst team this year if I was a betting man I may just put some money on these purple people to pull out a massive upset over VanillaGorilla’s who last lost to PURPLEHAZE week 3 of 2019.

A Notorious 17th-Century Pirate, the Many Lives of the Louvre and Other New Books to Read

https://sciencespies.com/nature/a-notorious-17th-century-pirate-the-many-lives-of-the-louvre-and-other-new-books-to-read/

A Notorious 17th-Century Pirate, the Many Lives of the Louvre and Other New Books to Read

When Captain Henry Every and his crew of marauders ambushed the pride of the Mughal fleet in September 1695, they set in motion an international crisis with lasting implications. As Steven Johnson, author of The Ghost Map and How We Got to Now, writes in Enemy of All Mankind: A True Story of Piracy, Power, and History’s First Global Manhunt, Every’s capture of the Ganj-i-Sawai—and its trove of an estimated $200 million in gold, silver and jewels—led the British East India Company to take harsh retaliatory measures. In doing so, Johnson argues, the corporation and Every inadvertently sparked the birth of a modern phenomenon: multinational capitalism.

The latest installment in our “Books of the Week” series, which launched in late March to support authors whose works have been overshadowed amid the COVID-19 pandemic, details the search for Every, the many lives of the Louvre, the Montgomery bus boycott, the humans behind history’s greatest firsts and a titan of industry’s ideological clash with Theodore Roosevelt.

Representing the fields of history, science, arts and culture, innovation, and travel, selections represent texts that piqued our curiosity with their new approaches to oft-discussed topics, elevation of overlooked stories and artful prose. We’ve linked to Amazon for your convenience, but be sure to check with your local bookstore to see if it supports social distancing-appropriate delivery or pickup measures, too.

Enemy of All Mankind: A True Story of Piracy, Power, and History’s First Global Manhunt by Steven Johnson

By all accounts, the Ganj-i-Sawai should’ve emerged victorious against the Fancy, a comparatively underequipped privateer ship. But luck was on Every’s side when the vessels met, and as Kirkus notes in its review of Enemy of All Mankind, Grand Mughal Aurangzeb’s flagship experienced a cannon misfire “even as a lucky shot from the pirate fleet took down the main mast.” Upon boarding the Ganj-i-Sawai, Every and his crew raped its women, tortured and murdered its men, and looted its treasure trove of goods.

The incident left the East India Company—and its trading interests in the Asian country—in a challenging position. Accused by Aurangzeb and his followers of hailing from a “nation of pirates” simply because Every was also British, the company teamed up with the crown to launch what Johnson deems the “first global manhunt.” Ultimately, the search proved only partially successful. Every escaped the hangman’s noose, though several of his comrades were captured and executed.

Despite this apparent failure, Johnson argues that the manhunt ushered in a much-needed reckoning between a soon-to-be outdated mode of money-making (autocracy funded by tithes, taxes and other forms of exploitation) and the way of the future: “a multinational corporation making money by trading goods with other nations, with shareholders profiting not just from the income generated, but also by the rising share price of the company itself.”

The Louvre: The Many Lives of the World’s Most Famous Museum by James Gardner

The Louvre is perhaps best known today as the home of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. But the palatial complex boasted a rich history long before the world’s most famous painting graced its walls. As James Gardner writes in his extensive exploration of the Parisian cultural institution—which he deems “as great a work of art as anything it contains”—the Louvre’s story actually stretches back some 7,000 years. “Before the Louvre was a museum,” the art critic explains in the book’s introduction, “it was a palace, and before that a fortress, and before that a plot of earth, much like any other.”

In 1191, French king Philippe Auguste ordered the construction of a defensive stronghold on the banks of the Seine River. Thousands of years earlier, according to Gardner, the site had served first as a campground and then as the home of a clay quarry and vineyard. During the 13th century, Charles V converted the fortress into a castle, laying the foundations for 16th-century king Francis I’s adoption of it as his main residence. But when Louis XIV chose Versailles as the main royal palace in 1682, the Louvre underwent a century of neglect. Finally, in 1793, the property assumed the role it holds to this day, opening as a public museum filled with art and artifacts—the majority of which were seized from France’s nobility amid the chaos of the French Revolution.

Writes Gardner, “What we see today is the result of no fewer than twenty distinct building campaigns that drew on the very diverse and unequal talents of scores of architects over eight centuries.”

Daughter of the Boycott: Carrying On a Montgomery Family’s Civil Rights Legacy by Karen Gray Houston

Fred and Thomas Gray played pivotal roles in the civil rights movement, aiding the organization of the Montgomery bus boycott and battling segregation in court, respectively. In Daughter of the Boycott, journalist Karen Gray Houston reflects on her relatives’ legacy, detailing how her father, Thomas—a founding member of the Montgomery Improvement Association—“drove his car to pick up black passengers to keep them off the buses [and] make the boycott a success,” while his younger brother, Fred, spearheaded legal cases that expanded voting rights and “desegregated transportation, schools, housing, and public accommodations.”

In addition to discussing her father’s and uncle’s work, Houston draws on interviews with individuals including the daughter-in-law of the manager whose bus line was targeted by protesters and the son of Aurelia Browder Coleman, lead plaintiff in the Browder v. Gayle Supreme Court case that resulted in the desegregation of Montgomery’s buses. According to Kirkus’ review of Daughter of the Boycott, Houston’s “real coup” is a conversation with fellow Browder plaintiff Claudette Colvin, who refused to yield her seat to a white passenger nine months before Rosa Parks famously did the same.

Who Ate the First Oyster?: The Extraordinary People Behind the Greatest Firsts in History by Cody Cassidy

To gain a better understanding of the individuals behind history’s “greatest firsts,” science writer Cody Cassidy interviewed more than 100 experts, started a fire with flint and pyrite, shaved his face with a piece of obsidian, and brewed beer using spoiled gruel. This unconventional research method ultimately yielded insights on 17 historical innovators whose accomplishments range from eating the first oyster to discovering soap, painting the world’s first masterpiece, inventing clothing and performing the first surgery.

Among the many curiosities highlighted in the book: The first person whose name survives in the historical record is an accountant named Kushim who lived some 5,000 years ago. A young Australopithecus mother crafted the world’s first invention—a baby sling—approximately three million years ago. And the creator of clothing, a Homo sapien the author nicknames Ralph, invented fashionable attire not for protection, warmth or modesty, but as decoration.

Cassidy’s sweeping exploration is limited by the simple fact that the individuals featured “lived before or without writing.” Still, he writes in the book’s introduction, “These are people who scholars know existed and whose extraordinary or fateful acts are the foundation of modern life.”

The Hour of Fate: Theodore Roosevelt, J.P. Morgan, and the Battle to Transform American Capitalism by Susan Berfield

As Publishers Weekly notes in its review of journalist Susan Berfield’s debut book, Theodore Roosevelt and financier J.P. Morgan both hailed from upper-class families and endured childhoods marred by illness. Despite these similarities, the pair vehemently disagreed on political and economic issues: Whereas Roosevelt argued that big business “had to be accountable to the public,” according to Berfield, Morgan believed capitalism should operate unchecked by all except titans of industry.

These conflicting views came to a head on September 14, 1901, when President William McKinley’s assassination made his vice president, Roosevelt, the United States’ new commander in chief. Roosevelt and Morgan, who at the time was among the richest men in the nation, viewed each other with distrust and uncertainty. When Morgan reportedly said, “I am afraid of Mr. Roosevelt because I don’t know what he’ll do,” the president replied, “He’s afraid of me because he does know what I’ll do.”

The Hour of Fate’s main action unfolds in 1902, when the government accused Morgan’s Northern Securities of antitrust violations, only to be stymied by a coal mining union strike that left both the railroad industry and the country, which relied on coal to heat its citizens’ homes, in a precarious position.

Writes Berfield, “With millions of dollars on the line, winter bearing down, and revolution in the air, it was a crisis that neither man alone could solve.”

Right, so a few weeks ago I made a concept for a steampunk story. It has a cast of characters and something of a plot laid out. Not completely laid out, though, as I can't write steampunk.

So I'm letting you all have it. I'll give you the info, and you can change and shape the concept and characters and make something of it. If you do and you publish it somewhere, I would love to get a link or to know the title. I don't even need credit, I just want to see the idea done justice.

So, concept: A group of people band together and go on a journey, following clues to solve a murder.

The cast:

Ana T. Croe

Ana is a young woman who works as a mechanic and an inventor specializing in weapons. She wears a mask over the lower half of her face, as she was in a fire and is self-conscious of the scars and burns.

She prefers using pistols.

Her motivation to help is that the gun used in the murder was made and sold by her to whoever the murderer was and she feels bad. Yes, she does this every time her guns are used to commit a crime. If they don't let her, she gives them the month's profits.

What she brings to the team: She was the first clue, as her branding was on the murder weapon. She has a list of people who bought from her over the past month, and the murderer could possibly be on that list.

I personally headcanon her as bisexual and flirtatious in a joking way, and if she sense that she's making someone uncomfortable she'll step off.

(Name Forgotten, I'll edit the post later once I get my hands on the notebook they were drawn in. Expect to wait a week to get it.)

_____ is a middle aged woman married to the owner of a necktie selling business, and is pretty darn rich. She enjoys dressing up fancy. Can and will throw hands if you are disrespectful of anyone in her presence, so you'd better take it outside. Feminine but badass, you know?

She prefers using daggers.

Her motivation is that the murdered man is a childhood friend. She was the one to find his body.

What she brings to the team: Money, mostly. Her husband doesn't really pay much attention to her activities, and doesn't mind her going off for a few months with a full purse in pursuit of justice. She can also call in some favors and use her status to get into certain places.

I personally headcanon her as straight. Also, drama between her and her husband- She's secretly in love with Jack Rook. You guys go where you want with this.

Jack Rook

He works as an accountant for a necktie company, and is an aspiring writer. He gets cold easily, and is afraid of heights. He has a hearing aid, and is looking into getting glasses since it's getting harder to see.

He prefers using guns.

His motivation is that he's kinda-sorta in love with ______ and wants to make sure she's safe. He knows she can take care of herself, but he just wants to be there in case something happens.

What he brings to the team: He's good at connecting dots, and can keep his cool even when one part of him is completely freaking out.

I personally headcanon him as asexual panromantic. He also knows that he really shouldn't be with ______ since she's married.

Name Forgotten

She is a teenage girl, as well as the manager of a local eatery. She is resourceful and clever, and utilizes sarcasm often. One of her hands were lost in an accident, but was replaced. The replacement is annoying, though, since it needs monthly maintenance.

She prefers explosives, but if she doesn't have any she'll grab whatever works.

Her motivation is that her uncle was the murdered man. While _____ found the body, she found the gun.

What she brings to the team: Culinary skills. Ana can cook, but that depends on how you define the word. ____ doesn't cook often, and Jack usually goes to a diner. Nobody trusts Dr. Jeckleson enough to let him near a stove. She's also proficient with explosives.

I personally headcanon her as AceAro.

Dr. Jeckleson

He works as a doctor, and is well known for being mysterious and strange. Nobody completely trusts him, and he's known to be a good fighter. He wears glasses (With several different lenses, and you can't see his eyes.), and a bowler hat. He also perpetually smiles. It's a wide, scary grin. If you've ever seen DSAF, it's similar to Henry Miller's grin, but with less "I'm going to murder your children and laugh at you while you die" and more "I've got secrets". Plot twist, he's Jack Rook from the future, but nobody knows that.

Nobody trusts him enough to let him have an object intended to be a weapon, but he's got several sharp objects in his workbag, which is always by his side.

His motivation is that something goes wrong on the clue search- terribly wrong, so wrong that he's the only one who makes it out alive and at the first chance he time travels back to stop it. Of course, at this point he's changed, obsessed over stopping the horrible event. He has to keep it a secret.

What he brings to the team: Medical skills, and secret knowledge. You would think that since nobody trusts him very much, they wouldn't let him practice medicine on him, but there have been no mysterious disappearances at his clinic and he has a near 100% success rate.

I headcanon him as asexual and panromantic.

Baron William Robert Joseph III

The murder victim. He was pretty rich, and a heavy set man. He had a large beard and was fond of top hats.

He had a cane sword.

His motivation doesn't exist, as he is dead.

What he brings to the team: He's dead. He brings nothing to the team, besides bringing them together to solve the mystery of who killed him.

I headcanon him as gay.

I'll add in the other names once I have my notebook. Remember, you can change any aspect of this you want! It's just an idea I know I wouldn't be able to pull off.

#steampunk #story idea #concept #someone write this #will be updated with the other's names #mystery #queer characters #the baron's nickname is billy bob joe #only his closest friends can call him that #writeblr

10 Movies All Entrepreneurs Should Watch on Amazon

May 8, 2020 9 min read

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Movies can be a great source of inspiration and entertainment, and a fun way to expand your knowledge base.

If you’re familiar with Amazon, you probably already know that the online shopping platform has a video streaming service. It makes thousands of video titles available for free to its Amazon Prime members, and you can also rent or buy many other new and classic films. But there’s so much to choose from that it can be a bit overwhelming.

Related: 10 TV Shows Every Entrepreneur Should Watch on Netflix

The films listed below offer important lessons on a variety of topics relevant to entrepreneurs. To help you get the most out of your movie-watching experience, I’ve sorted these films under key topics and categorized them as being available to rent through Amazon, or available to watch for free through Amazon Prime.

These 10 movies go beyond entertainment: They set high standards and showcase the skills and drive you’ll need to be a success, as well as warn against greed and corruption.

Stories that bring Wall Street to life

From corrupt stockbrokers to astute hedge fund managers, these movies capture some of Wall Street’s most intriguing true stories.

[embedded content]

This hit movie tells a wild, over-the-top tale that happens to be based on a true story. The plot revolves around scam-artist stockbroker Jordan Belfort (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), who takes an entry level job at a Wall Street brokerage firm.

What to watch for: Belfort was a great entrepreneur who successfully built something out of nothing, but unfortunately his company was riddled with corruption and deceit. This story offers entrepreneurs important lessons, not the least of which is: Don’t be a crook.

2. The Big Short – watch for free through Amazon Prime

[embedded content]

The Big Short tells the story of a group of Wall Street fund managers and investors who were able to see the looming housing market crisis long before it began to implode in 2007 and 2008. The movie chronicles the work of hedge fund manager Michael Burry (played by Christian Bale), who discovers that financial institutions are bundling risky subprime mortgages into “AAA-rated” prime mortgage−backed securities that were sold to investors. He realizes the U.S. housing market is perched atop a huge asset bubble that is about to burst.

What to watch for: Burry creates a credit default swap that allows him to short, or bet against, those bonds, making his investors a bundle of money when the housing market tanks. The biggest lesson here is that while everyone else scoffed at him because they believed the market was unbreakable, Burry stuck to his guns and his strategy paid off.

The story behind American icon Walt Disney

Walt Disney was a pioneer in animation and in the entertainment industry. These movies take a deeper look at his backstory and the creative process he used to create his iconic characters.

[embedded content]

This movie tells the story behind Walt Disney’s quest to obtain the rights to P.L. Travers’ novel Mary Poppins. Despite Disney’s best efforts, Travers rebuffs every offer he makes because she fears Disney’s version of her story won’t be true to the characters she has created. She criticizes every step in the process to adapt the book into a movie script, nearly upending the project.

What to watch for: The delicate way Disney handles this situation. He could have easily let the project sink or tried to pressure Travers to comply. Instead, he seeks to better understand her concerns and hear her out. He eventually finds a way to win her over, and his tenacity results in a movie that won universal acclaim and audience adoration for generations to come.

4. Walt Before Mickey – available for free through Amazon Prime

[embedded content]

While you have likely heard about Walt Disney’s many accomplishments, you may not be familiar with the many difficulties he faced on the way to success. Walt Before Mickey depicts a number of failures Disney had to overcome as he doggedly built a career for himself in animated films. This is the story of Disney’s early years. Before he created Mickey Mouse, Disney created another famous animated character, Oswald Rabbit. But Disney didn’t own the copyright to that character, and he had to let Oswald go.

What to watch for: Owning your work is one of the many lessons he learned on the bumpy road to success — and a good one for entrepreneurs to take away from this film. By the time Walt created Mickey, he was on his fourth animation company and it is the one that stuck: Walt Disney Studios.

Stories behind famous business feuds

Throughout history, businesses have feuded for a variety of reasons. Sometimes these conflicts become epic and can drive businesses to the brink — or propel them to new heights.

5. Ford v Ferrari – rent through Amazon

[embedded content]

In the 1960s, automaker Ford’s then-president Henry Ford II tried to buy lUXury sports car manufacturer Ferrari, but the deal fell through at the last minute. Ford v Ferrari stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale and chronicles how Henry Ford II’s disappointment turned into revenge, prompting him to create a new car that could beat Ferrari’s model at Le Mans, the world’s oldest active sports car endurance race.

What to watch for: Consider how Ferrari executives don’t take Ford seriously as a competitor, and the impact that has. The movie also shows how Ford’s project passes through numerous middle managers, which likely reduces the overall efficiency of their operations.

[embedded content]

The movie depicts the story behind two of the world’s most renowned shoe companies, which stems from a vicious family feud that not only pitted two brothers against one another but also divided the inhabitants of their small hometown in Germany. Note: this is a German-language film with English subtitles.

What to watch for: The rivalry between these two brands went far beyond corporate competition, but it also undoubtedly pushed both companies to excel. The movie shows how different business approaches resulted in the development of two of the most powerful sports brands in the world. It ultimately begs the question: If it weren’t for this family rivalry, would these companies be where they are today?

The story behind the world’s largest fast-food chain

There’s no doubt that McDonald’s is the largest fast-food chain in the world and has revolutionized our eating habits — for better or for worse. The origin story behind McDonald’s offers great insights into how innovation is born when people are willing to think outside the box to solve customer problems.

[embedded content]

The McDonald’s empire we know today exists largely because of a man whose last name is not McDonald. In 1948, the McDonald brothers debuted a revolutionary kitchen assembly line during a time when drive-ins were still king. Enter Ray Kroc, who delivered several milkshake mixers to the McDonald brothers in 1954. Kroc was in awe of what they had created, and he had a vision for how he could take their “golden arches” from coast to coast. Kroc eventually bought the business — and the rights to the McDonald’s name. Today the company is worth more than $100 billion, and Kroc is considered its founder.

What to watch for: Not only does the movie show how important it is to never give up; it also throws light on other aspects of business, such as the importance of having a good team, and why it’s crucial to have all legalities in place.

8. The Real Founder – watch for free through Amazon prime

[embedded content]

The Real Founder features an interview with Dick McDonald, who, along with his brother Maurice, started the McDonald’s restaurant chain. Dick McDonald offers his side of the story, describing how they opened a drive-in restaurant in Southern California, which became one of the most popular in town.

What to watch for: If you’ve seen The Founder, this documentary will give you a different perspective. The Real Founder offers the backstory on how the McDonald brothers came up with their own innovations to speed up food service, and even began franchising the restaurant long before Ray Kroc was part of the story.

Stories of women inventors who succeeded and failed

The key elements of success often come down to having drive, ambition and talent; however, as these movies show, you need to back that up with a solid product that performs as advertised.

9. Joy – rent through Amazon

[embedded content]

This movie captures the challenges of a woman entrepreneur and has a wonderful message for all women looking to build a successful company. Joy is based on the life of Joy Mangano, a self-made millionaire who created a business empire.

What to watch for: This movie is about beating all odds and breaking the glass ceiling. But the best lesson here is that if you want to build a big, successful company, you need to get ready to go to war every day, rain or shine. Success means being willing to fight a multi-front battle.

[embedded content]

This documentary follows the story of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, a blood-testing startup business. She led the public to believe that her device, the Edison, could perform dozens of blood tests with just a single finger prick. She was later criminally charged because it was all a lie.

What to watch for: Holmes was gifted at creating a narrative that pulled people in and made them want to believe her. Entrepreneurs can learn from the way she masterfully drew investors to back her. But she also refused to listen to anyone who questioned her practices. Successful entrepreneurs listen to feedback and encourage open and thoughtful dialogue.

Quote

If you are looking for the Nigerian face of youthful entrepreneurial success, Obinwanne Okeke, chairman ‘Invictus Group’ was the man.He was celebrated by Forbes Africa in 2016 as one of Africa’s Under 30s Most Promising Entrepreneurs. He even made the cover of the magazine that usually glorifies the rich and the successful.In December 2018, he was a guest speaker at TEDxYaba2018. He spoke about “the DNA of the Nigerian entrepreneur”. His recommendation will inspire the most laid-back member of his generation: “The success of a business is largely dependent on you as the owner.If there is any part of you that appears to be a limitation, don’t let it hold you back.Take deliberate steps to develop yourself to match your weakness, growth is continuous.Associate with people that will inspire you and are ready to support you.Develop these traits in the right proportion.Don’t be afraid to fail, be afraid not to try. Go for it.Start Something Today!” That same year, BellaNaija, one of Nigeria’s celebrity platforms showcased him in its ‘Man Crush Monday series’.Until yesterday, no one ever suspected Okeke was a fraud.But the secret was let out by Instablog9Ja’s reality-shattering post about the affidavit of FBI special agent, Marshall Ward that showed that Okeke has only been showing a facade of business success. He is just like all the Yahoo Boys that EFCC hunts down the streets, except that he practices his own at another level, a much higher level, phishing, e-masquerading and stealing millions of dollars from several companies.Obinwanne Okeke on Forbes Africa cover in 2016: everyone fails to pick the red flagsAn embarrassed Bella Naija, regretted being duped like Forbes Africa and TedEX and took the decision to obliterate Okeke from its site.“We have now taken the post off our website and it has been deleted off our social media. Obinwanne Okeke at TEDxYaba forum in 2018: speaking on DNA of business We will keep you updated as more information on the investigation unfolds”, it announced today in a sparse story announcing FBI arrest of the fabled Nigerian young ‘billionaire’.In his filing, Marshall Ward deposed, after painstaking investigation that Okeke, defrauded UNATRAC Holding Limited, the export sales office for Caterpillar heavy industrial and farm equipment in the UK, of a staggering $11million.The FBI investigation followed a complaint by the CFO of UNATRAC that his email had been compromised via phishing and spoofing and that his email account had been accessed illegally 464 times between April 6 and April April 20, 2018, mostly from Internet protocol addresses in Nigeria. Through the hijacked account wire transfers running into millions of dollars were made by UNATRAC to fictitious accounts controlled by Okeke.Further investigation found that Okeke similarly fleeced Red Wing Shoe Company based in Minnessota of $108,470 also last year. There were other victims in Indiana, California, Alabama, Wisconsin, the investigator found.Okeke was arrested while visiting the United States this month.The news has been the most shocking in Nigeria for some time, with Twitterati wondering why the red flags were not seen by everyone until now.Giditraffic posted a video of a birthday bash by Okeke in South Africa last November, where he was drenched with expensive champagne.“AAshey yahoo yahoo lomo naa… Ogbeni invictus obi, forbes list was getting boring, so he jumped to FBI list”, wrote Ayodeji @datmastermind80 on Twitter.“This Invictus Obi’s story clearly shows that Yahoo Yahoo boys can operate anywhere- even wearing suits. That’s why I hardly believe all these influencers giving Tedx Talks if I can’t trace their sources of income. Most of them do Yahoo as a major side hustle. Run your own race!”, Olalekan Adigun wrote.Henry Okelue said: “The apprehension of Invictus Obi is hopefully a notification to the gutter mouthed “rich” businessman/men with obviously dubious “wealth” on here. Your time is near.”On his company’s website, Okeke published some snippets about his life, which we must warn the reader to take with a pinch of salt, with the report emanating from United States.Okeke was born on November 9, 1987, in Ukpor village, 790 kilometres from Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, as the 17th child of a polygamous father.He went to boarding school aged 10, lost his father at 16 and moved from one relative to another. He named his company Invictus after one of Nelson Mandela’s favourite a poems, by William Ernest Henley, about the undefeated and unconquerable soul of a hard worker, from an impoverished background, who will not give up.His company, the site claimed, is into construction, agriculture, oil and gas, telecoms and real estate. He has 28 permanent and 100 part-time employees across nine companies. We now know better.As a teenager, Okeke took courses in business management as well as obtained a diploma as a computer technician. He later moved to Australia to study, where he said he “did all kinds of jobs just to survive.”He started an events/entertainment company for students called Invictus media and also interned at a poverty alleviation NGO in the country.While in Australia, he founded Literacy Africa International to raise “awareness about literacy problem among children in Africa.”He also sourced for donors of used children books across Australia and shipped them to disadvantaged kids across Africa.He saved some money, came back to Nigeria, and invested it in his business.In 2017, Invictus Group was named as Africa’s Most Innovative Investment Company of the Year by African Brand Congress.The same year, Obinwanne was nominated in the Young African Business Leader (West Africa) category for the All Africa Business Leaders Awards ( AABLA).The rest is history.Special agent Marshall Ward affidavit below...

Animation around TV Advertisements

New Post has been published on https://zingganusantara.com/blog/animation-around-tv-advertisements-5/

Animation around TV Advertisements

The effectiveness of spirits in TV FOR PC commercials

Bryant & Can were the 1st British enterprise to utilize computer animation for advertising reasons. In 1899 animator Arthur Melbourne-Cooper has been hired to generate a stop-motion quick in which matchstick men move along your ladder along with paint some sort of appeal for a wall. This kind of appeal understand `For just one guinea Messrs Bryant & May may forward an instance containing ample to supply a box regarding matches to each man inside of a battalion while using name on the sender indoors. ‘(www.bfi.co.uk) You can certainly be cynically dismissive associated with what is clearly a clever, if extremely crude, ad campaign disguised as a patriotic act with charity during the Boer battle. However it is simply not as easy to always be as dismissive of the length to which movement has been adopted from all these humble start as a applicable force inside of modern marketing and advertising strategy.

The main 22nd September 1955 offered birth to help commercial video broadcasting in the United Kingdom. Right from the outset entrepreneurs where instant to catch upon the opportunity and advertisements possibilities that will animation add front analysts. During these fast years up to and including third regarding television promotion was living such as the “Murray Mints, typically the too-good-to-hurry mints, ” or simply Snap, Crackle an Appear, ” just for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies which in turn both primicia in 1955. The Kellogg ads brought to life hand captivated characters that were used on their packaging of cereal boxes given that 1928 plus the campaign continue to runs now. The Murray Mints advertisement, which displayed soldiers for bearskin to select from march with time to a ring, won very best ad within the year from the inaugural calendar year of United kingdom television promoting. (Robinson, 2050, p35) M Walter Thompson who had taken care of the Guinness account considering that 1929 started bringing to our life; through the means of animation, basically popular Gilroy posters this had become any institution and even started some sort of ‘Guinness society. ’

If perhaps advertisers had been keen to implement animators inside their campaigns afterward animators exactly where certainly confident to entice receive the give good results. The two market sectors formed a symbiosis that had been characterised from the overnight emergence of a completely market within the advertising sector meant that there were numerous new options for fresh animators to create new companies considering the minimum of capital and research new strategies. Companies which include biographic that was set up through Bob Godfrey who produced ads for various organisations such as Shipams fish paste and Nestle. (Threadgould, 2005)

The use of animation in advertisements certainly proved popular with advertisers, and with dwelling viewers nevertheless it was the “Homepride flour men” who proven that it could also be an effective resource. The “Homepride flour men” ad presentacion in 1965. The particular ad displayed two adult men in charcoal business suits together with bowler to select from standing in around two packets of flour. A filter is placed on the head of merely one of the as well as flour applyed into it. The processes is repeated with Homepride flour which sieves much quicker as it is rated and the minute man is certainly instantly taken care of in flour turning her black fit white. Graphs explained by the person in the do not lik; voiced by simply Dads Military services star Ruben Le Mesurier; and his terms produced the slogan ‘GRADED GRAINS GET FINER FLOURS. ’

The campaign followed in making Homepride a market head within three months. Such characters evolved into so popular that your particular leader (Fred) was branded by the advertising brains to offer a big name to the suit faces. Collections such as aprons, peppermills, fridge magnets as well as various other kitchenalias were produced as ‘collectors’ items. Fred’s image spurned a whole collection of sub products and solutions for the enterprise and it is even now used to offer a variety of Homepride products right now. To keep up with shifting times created retain a sense tradition; different comedians including Richard Briers and Robert Merton include voiced John, he is right now voiced simply by Nick Svale from Spread .

Homepride have managed to infuse their valuable brand personality with that associated with Fred, their valuable iconic mascot. They have applied his effigy on various products for instance sauces and even kitchen utensils to place your house pride trademark firmly in people’s kitchens. However the runaway success find someone to do my homework online of the particular ad-campaign does not assurance an increase regarding sales from the product its supposed to encourage.

Conveniences began everyday living as a video clip. It was an incredibly engaging limited due to the connection between dream and simple fact with which that presented the main viewer. In the book Being familiar with Animation Henry Wells is the relationship between the diegetic plot and the figures surroundings like fabrication plus suggest that it is just a narrative program. This is to be able to that ‘fabrication essentially takes on out a substitute version of material existence, recollecting narrative outside of constructed things and circumstances, natural varieties and elements, and the assumed constituent woman the on a daily basis world. ’(Wells, 1998 p90) This means that there’s a relationship relating to the abstract term of charm through the unit and the ‘constituent elements of the exact everyday entire world, ’ which often lends again more when it comes to mimesis. Even supposing animation is really an abstract type of expression, these kind of ads have a very ‘documentary feel’ that adds a style of expert to their cases.

Chip Parks Creature Comforts and the energy adverts this followed it all present some sort of in which highly stylised types of animals are usually animated while using voices connected with members with the British common. The beliefs and the suggests of the common and then properly matched to appropriate creatures. The most outstanding example becoming Frank the exact jogging tortoise. Frank felin to a based off cameras about how attractive it is an extra shot from a 10 mile run into a comfy flat, the actual it is important the fact that boiler is “turn down and onable. ” The whole world being provided to the purchaser is immediately recognizable; open is looking at the simple excites of modern everyday life. He is a good everyman although he is a talking pet.

The pulling power between magic size animation as well as the physical planet in which it truly is filmed is the reason why it is to a certain degree confined by the physical legal guidelines of our entire world in order to keep on being recognizable as well as believable. Naturally these guidelines can are now being flouted, model characters will be able to talk plus discuss daily matters for instance members with the general public, although the relationship from the animated models and the entire world they occupy means that whenever physical legislations is flouted a sense of the particular uncanny as well as fantastic is certainly achieved.

Because of this , the skinny jeans or so doing but it is also why that they failed while ads. Although the marketing campaign reached range 4 inside of a 2000 survey of ‘The 100 biggest TV ads, ” the most popular misconception is always that the ads happen to be selling propane. As Nick Park on his own explains it all, “People however refer to all of them as ‘the gas offers. ’” (Robinson, 2000, p124) Although the commercials were remarkably memorable these people failed to website link the professional and the product or service.

Successful animalised advertising campaigns happen to be based solely on the same ideas as thriving live motion campaigns. “Advertising’s central work is to develop desires the fact that did not formerly exist. ” (Dyer, 1982 p6) A new miss-judged promote such as the features campaign is probably not deemed profitable if it fails to stimulate around the consumer any desire to ingest a given products. Where as the main Kellogg cartoon mascots meant for frosties, grain krispies in addition to coco-pops currently have succeeded around becoming intrinsically infused along with the products that they can be selling.

One of the many advantages of using animation inside advertising certainly is the ability involving animators to generate environments along with worlds that can not be accessed or modelled by a live action dslr camera crew. All these artificial situations can be used to spark imagination as well as desire, to create a fantastical world of possibility, that may then get realised through the purchase of a given product. Coco-pops are sold by a number of jungle roles that live in a fantastical world of creativity and pleasure that is remarkably appealing to young children.

Also anytime advertising health products just like toothpaste, cartoon medical sales pitches can be employed. These kind of usually make form of a good split display screen with the marketed product in the side belonging to the screen including a leading rival on the other. The actual animation can then demonstrate the way in which the product gets results and is more efficient than a compete with brand.

A further appeal of cartoon to the offer man is definitely the classlessness on the form. (Threadgould, 2005) figures such as the Homepride’s Fred and also Fairy the liquid baby are free from work from the elegance constraints of traditional Language society. They will bridge the students gap as well as appeal to proletariat and lucky alike.

Spirits can also be a lower priced process. Pioneers such as Chris Sachs associated with Larkin galleries and Robert Godfrey involving biographic, discovered quicker cheaper animation options than the typical fluid artistic style of Disney. They used jagged and even rough stylings that pilfered from The german language expressionism. The theory being, to utilize limited movement to utmost effect. (Threadgould, 2005) By just emphasising selected details publishers can emblematize certain components that can be of this particular product. As an example the Michelin Man’s rounded tyre body refers to the strength and durability of the tyres but also their own malleability.

The condition facing animating advertisers is really a problem, that faces animators in general. Typically the immediately obvious thing in relation to animation is it is an overloaded fake diegetic form; that is certainly unlike survive action, which can be often occupied with replicating actuality to achieve mimesis; the unnatural process of generating narrative variety is accentuated by the simple fact that the customer is seeing inanimate images brought to life by way of motion. The issue here is that advertising is a process of making desire around the consumer; the item suggests that the good news is more desired reality available to its target audience through the utilization of a product. Triumphant animated offers must thus reconcile the reality that they are featuring to the individual a hype by alluding to an actual truth.

It is not necessarily problematic; Aesop’s fables were edifiant tales which will spoke with ethical truths through anthropomorphic parable. Tips like the lion and the duck or the hair in sheep’s clothing needed well-known anthropomorphic traits for certain dogs and moulded them right into cautionary asi about how you are required to live their whole life. Quite as animation selects certain points to present towards the viewer to set-up abstract e . g a client can quickly identify with.

The concept of the Jolly Green Massive for example can be ludicrous; nothing of audio mind would certainly actually are convinced a giant efficient man comes from cornfields managing the quality of the very corn. Even so symbolically he is representative of the main qualities that company want to associate with certainly, there corn. He’s a symbol of robustness and power that come from character. The ingrown toenail he markets is good strong in addition to wholesome which health can be had by those who consume it all. He is jolly and friendly, a gentle large who cultivates top quality merchandise with a deft touch. We is also vivid green colour of mother nature, a symbol of health and vitality, the utilization of of daily life itself. As a result of these links meaning is definitely abstracted in lieu of dictated. It has all the art of gentle salesmanship as opposed to ‘the hard easily sell. ’

Many individuals have preconceived ideas with regards to animation in the form of whimsical method suitable simply for humour and children’s celebration; however there are various examples of animation as serious political record. Halas and Batchelor made Animal Grind in 1954 as an edition of George Orwell’s book. Scholars get often analyzed it as a great allegory with regards to the rise for Stalinism and the threat regarding communism, however is no realise that American backer Louis DeReochemount was a prominent man for any American CIA and the roll film was deliberately used when anti Euro propaganda. Similar to other medium with an information about its plastic qualities work extremely well seriously so to devastating effect.

A recent charitable organisation advertisement on behalf in the NSPCC represented an living child being sadistically as well as habitually defeated by their father. The main ad proved the child remaining burnt along with cigarettes, thrown down a stairway and chocked. Humorous sound clips and cartoon-looking cliches along the same form of Tom and even Jerry everywhere used. This is a visual as well as aural cosmetic that the audience were accustomed to associating using harmless together with enjoyable children’s cartoons. Risk tension for play amongst the diegetic plastic of the super-hero child along with the mimetic cosmetic of the father and the track record environment served to uncompfortable, and unsettle to the point connected with disturbing the very viewer. The viewer had been left to imagine the results for such physical violence on a actual child and the commercial’s success at showing the concerns of the actual NSPCC has been undeniable.

Exactly why has computer animation become highly effective tool for animation? The solution to this concern lies inside the concept of company and type identity. Should the aim of typically the advertiser will be to communicate often the identity of the given trademark as instantly and as pithily as possible, then simply animation is a perfect medium.

In his ebook ‘Ad realms: Brand, news flash, and spectators. ’ Greg Myers specifies branding as “the attachment of meanings to a classed product. ” (Myers, 1998, p33) For example that semiotic associations usually are associated with a presented brand throughout the way it can be produced, placed, promoted and also priced. Such as Guinness is really a uniquely made stout which may be ubiquitously set almost every bar de copas of the nation. It has a past of selling itself through humour being a traditional drink to unwind as well as relax using and it is costing a slight large to give it all a hint associated with exclusivity.

Wally Olins means that a modern earth that has become brimming with promotion, branding is an essential program in order for the person to instantly decipher to advertisers subject matter before they are simply distracted using a competitor. On the words connected with Olins; “Why are brands such a sharp and exceptional manifestation in our time? Just because in a globe that is huge in terms of competing clamour, through which rational alternative has become pretty much extinct, companies represent clarity, reassurance, reliability, status, special -b each thing that enables humans to outline themselves. Brands represent determine. ” (Olins, 2003, p27)

Getting buyers to empathise with a company identity, so to desire to start working as a part of this identity is usually extenuated with the use of a brand charm. From A2z tony the Wagering action to Later on Camel plus the re-imagination of your milky nightclub kid that will animated form, drawn along with animated characters have been utilized to sell sets from children’s toys and games to smoking. These heroes become intrinsically linked to the components of the merchandise that they are retailing. So what could it be about the steps involved in creating an animated nature that is so effective with advertising?

In his arrange ‘Understanding Computer animation; ’ Paul Wells chunks up the basic principles of characterization as a story strategy around animation because; “the personality may be fully understood through the costume as well as construction, is considered ability to gesture or go and the associative aspects of it is design. ” (Wells, 98, p105)

No matter if an super-hero character is definitely animal as well as human, artists rarely make an effort to completely reproduce natural type. As such the issue is that they are promoting viewers by using unnatural searching beings. In case the viewer would be to accept the very characters found before them, typically the characters their selves must be provided as believable. This is why artists rely on hyperbole of personal features to help suggest specific character models. Halas as well as Manvell refer to this on their book ‘the technique of dvd Animation. ”Characterization is obtained by the daub of styles and methods – huge eyes, massive mouth, huge nose, huge head small-scale body and so forth ” (Halas and Manvell, 1968, p65) What the artists are worrying are the gesturing parts of the body, particularly the features of your head. The little brown eyes, nose, lips and ears are all crucial in causing the illusion associated with human sensation. Anthropomorphic traits in family pets such as the energy of Coach the Gambling can be used encourage a product as healthy or perhaps enabling muscle.

There is a overall rule of thumb in relation to which shapes and sizes go with just what characters: variety gentle heroes tend to have very soft rounded fronts with great smiles and enormous rounded eye. The Pillsbury Dough Young man is a great example of this guideline. He is the embodiment of the jolly fat male. Generalizations something like this one work as visual shorthand for the client; they optimize the impact of your character by means of economy and invite the crowd to make semiotic connections as well as process story information about the roles more quickly. Inside the words of Wells, animation “manages in order to compress the degree of plot information right limited length of time through a procedure of condensation. ”(Wells, 1998, p76)

This method associated with economy in addition to condensation within animation characterisation was born out of functionality although anything. Partially it was because advertisements are certainly short. As such narrative information has to be shipped with fantastic speed. While in the medium with the television commercially aware, advertisers experience anywhere between twelve and 30 seconds as a way to convey their own message. As a result the artistic shorthand this animation model employs is designed for the quick and accurate communication on the advertisers meaning. With video being the very dominant website url of the cartoon short, personas have to be quickly recognizable with a small display. It’s easier to do this by way of recognizing one or two strong specific characteristics in comparison with several tiny ones. Just remember however the not as much that a figure is to lure, the sooner they become so that you can reproduce. People rely on esquisse and stereotype to pass on narrative information quickly and succinctly.

The particular Homepride flour men mentioned earlier with this essay are the ideal example of ways an understanding involving characterisation on animation will give rise to your successful marketing strategy. They had a super easy uniform structure that was all at once, striking, remarkable, unique and. The business agrees with and bowler hats endured for a company like English attitude, in which at the same time appeared to be overly luxurious for retailing flour and thus was self applied mocking. The very characters had been taken to the center of the usa. With the effigy of Sam on loads of kitchen utensils his rightful place turned the kitchen sets of English homesteads, and thus so did the Homepride brand.

The particular twin means of animated nature development and product printing both attempt towards condensing as much narrative information in to the least quantity of detail possible and the least amount of time attainable. Animation is undoubtedly an intrinsically innovative medium. The human mind explains a spirit of abstracting meaning from your animated diegetic aesthetic. That inspires notion in the way that advertisers would prefer to inspire opinions of motivation. It can be a agreeable experience in the example of Homepride’s Fred advertising, or it might be disturbing so that the NSPCC have being used, either way the response provoked is a of unique thought and even identification which will promotes anyone to consume.

Penny Marshall: 1943-2018

To some, she was the co-star of one of the most popular sitcoms of its era and a familiar face/voice on any number of shows over the years. To others, she was a trailblazing filmmaker who became the first American woman to direct a movie that made over $100 million at the box office, a feat she would repeat for a second time just a few years later. Whichever side of the camera she was working on, Penny Marshall was a consummate entertainer who could handle everything from the broadest slapstick comedy to serious drama, and her passing today at the age of 75 from diabetes complications will hit hard with anyone who encountered her work over the years.

Born Carole Penny Marshall in 1943, she grew up in the Bronx with a father who directed industrial films and a mother who was a tap dancer. After attending the University of New Mexico for a couple of years, marrying and divorcing her first husband Michael Henry and having a daughter, Tracy, Marshall moved out to Los Angeles to try her hand at show business. After doing some commercials, she made her film debut in a bit part in “How Sweet It Is” (1968), a film written and produced by her brother Garry, who had already established himself in the business, working on shows like “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” Over the next few years, she would make appearances in such films as the biker movie “The Savage Seven” (1968), the counterculture drama “The Grasshopper” and the cult comedy classic “Where’s Poppa?” (1970) as well as such TV shows as “Then Came Bronson,” “Love, American Style” and the immortal made-for-TV movie “The Feminist and the Fuzz” (1971). She auditioned for the role of Gloria Stivic on “All in the Family” but lost it to Sally Struthers (her then-husband Rob Reiner, who she married in 1971, did land the part of Mike Stivic).

Marshall's first big break came in 1972 when she was cast in the recurring role of Myrna, the secretary to Oscar Madison, during the last couple of years of the hit sitcom “The Odd Couple.” During and after the run of that show she turned up in any number of programs, including “The Bob Newhart Show,” “Banacek” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and was a regular on the well-reviewed but short-lived comedy “Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers.” In 1975, brother Garry was working on his enormously popular sitcom “Happy Days” and had written an episode involving a couple of Milwaukee brewery workers who served as dates for Fonzie (Henry Winkler) and Richie (Ron Howard); he decided to cast her and Cindy Williams, who had appeared opposite Howard in “American Graffiti” (1973), in the roles. The byplay between the two actresses was so apparent that Garry decided to spin the two characters off into their own series. That show, “Laverne & Shirley,” debuted in 1976 and was an immediate hit that lasted for eight seasons before going off the air in 1983 (with Marshall going it alone during the final season when Williams left due to a pregnancy). Sure, the show was pretty silly and inconsequential but Marshall and Williams threw themselves into the goofball material with such heedless glee, even the sternest of viewers couldn’t help but crack a smile every now and then.

While working on “Laverne & Shirley” as an actress, Marshall developed an interest in directing, helming four episodes of the series over the years as well as an episode of “Working Stiffs,” a little-seen 1979 sitcom that co-starred then-unknowns Michael Keaton and Jim Belushi. At a time when few women were granted the opportunity to direct major studio films, Marshall caught a break when she was hired to come in and take over the production of “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” (1986) after director Howard Zieff departed shortly after filming began. The film, an action-comedy starring Whoopi Goldberg as an ordinary bank employee who becomes involved in international espionage after accidentally making contact with a British secret agent on the run from the KGB, is not especially memorable (other than the re-recording of the Rolling Stones hit that it was named after, as performed by Aretha Franklin and backed up by Keith Richards). But she managed to squeeze enough laughs out of the tired material (thanks to a game cast of comics like Belushi, Carol Kane, Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz, her “Laverne & Shirley” co-star Michael McKean and Tracey Ullman, whose breakthrough TV variety series she would direct an episode of the next year), suggesting she might do even better if she lucked into a better script.

As “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” proved to be a moderate box-office hit, Marshall was given another chance to direct: “Big” (1988), the fantasy-comedy about a 13-year-old boy (David Moscow) who makes a wish on a mysterious carnival machine to be big and wakes up the next morning as himself, only in the body of his 30-year-old self (Tom Hanks). At the time that this film was made, there was a weird mini-wave of films in which teenagers inhabited the bodies of grown-ups and vice-versa, most of them focused exclusively on the gimmick in the broadest of comedic terms. The genius of “Big,” however, is that once she established the premise, Marshall took the story in a more realistic direction, as the now-grown kid finds herself thrown into the seemingly unfathomable worlds of corporate politics and adult relationships and reacting to them with a direct openness that was both disarming and charming. Instead of turning into the kind of grotesque or cynical fable it might have been in lesser hands, Marshall created one of the most genuinely winning fantasy films of the decade. She also helped supercharge the career of star Tom Hanks (who received his first Oscar nomination for his work here) and even inspired countless numbers of toy store visitors to emulate its most iconic scene by tapping out “Heart & Soul” on a giant keyboard, as Hanks and co-star Robert Loggia did at FAO Schwarz.

"Big" was a smash, the aforementioned first film directed by a woman to gross over $100 million, and put her in the position where she could pretty much make anything that she wanted. Although she was presumably offered countless comedies, her next film proved to be something entirely different. This was “Awakenings” (1990), a film based on the book by Oliver Sacks that told the story of a doctor (Robin Williams) who successfully administered the drug L-Dopa to a group of patients who had been catatonic for decades, and of one such patient (Robert De Niro) who first had to deal with waking up in a new time in which all of his loved ones are long gone and then with the gradual realization that his seemingly miraculous recovery is only temporary. Again, Marshall took supremely tricky material that might have been unworkable in other hands and found an emotional core that allowed viewers to relate to the story without cheapening it, and showed an increasingly deft hand with actors with the fine performances that she got from her two leads. The film proved to be a surprise success with audiences and received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor for De Niro, although she was inexplicably passed over in the Best Director category.

Her next film, and arguably her best, was inspired by a 1987 documentary about the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, a real-life women’s organization that was developed when Major League Baseball was threatened with a complete shutdown after America entered World War II. She put the makers of that film, Kelly Candaele and Kim Wilson, together with screenwriters Babaloo Mandel & Lowell Ganz to write what became "A League of Their Own."

"A League of Their Own": Columbia Pictures

The film told of the league through the eyes of two sisters (Geena Davis and Lori Petty) who find themselves playing for the Rockford Peaches under the dubious managerial eye of Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), a former star and current drunk who is nevertheless inspired by the team (whose players include the likes of Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell) to straighten up and lead them to the World Series in which the two sisters now find themselves playing on opposite teams. In telling a story that simultaneously serves as a comedy, an emotional drama about the conflict between sisters and a peek into history that had until then been all but forgotten, Marshall found herself spinning a number of narrative and emotional plates throughout and pretty much managed to make them all pay off in a movie that inspired plenty of laughs. And despite the fact that, to quote the most famous line, “There’s no crying in baseball,” the film earned its tears. Although a period film about women’s baseball might not have seemed like the basis for box-office success, the movie was one of the surprise hits of the summer of 1992, once again allowing Marshall to break the $100-million barrier. To cement its reputation as an instant classic, the movie was entered into the United States National Film Registry—ensuring its continued preservation—in 2012.

After the triumph of “A League of Her Own,” Marshall’s subsequent screen output proved to be somewhat less successful, both commercially and artistically, but she still had some interesting moments here and there: “Renaissance Man” (1994) told the story of a recently unemployed advertising executive (Danny DeVito) who found himself teaching basic literacy classes to a group of semi-literate recruits at a local Army base. The film is little more than a rehash of “Dead Poets Society,” but is perhaps somewhat notable for featuring the big screen dramatic debut from Mark Wahlberg; “The Preacher’s Wife” (1996) was a theoretically unnecessary remake of the holiday classic “The Bishop’s Wife” (1947) that featured Denzel Washington as a suave angel who appeared in New York to help a struggling pastor (Courtney B. Vance) and his wife (Whitney Houston) make a go of their church in the face of personal and financial difficulties. Although not a patch on the original, it proved to be reasonably entertaining thanks to the charming performances from the three leads (with Houston delivering arguably the best performance as an actress). Her final directorial effort, “Riding in Cars with Boys” (2001), told the inspirational true story of a woman who went from being a teen mother to eventually earning her master’s degree. The film contained performances from the likes of Drew Barrymore, Brittany Murphy, and James Woods that were engaging enough to make you forget how formulaic it all was.

Although her career in front of the camera during this time was largely limited to small roles, two appearances stand out: In “Hocus Pocus” (1993), the weird Halloween kids movie that has gone on to become a cult favorite for reasons that continue to elude me, she turns up alongside brother Garry as a married couple (see what I mean about it being weird) who are visited by the three witches who assume that he is the Devil and she is Medusa in one of the few scenes that demonstrates any real comedic invention. In Albert Brooks’s underrated satire “Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World,” she plays herself in a hilarious opening scene where she perfunctorily interviews Brooks (playing himself) for the lead role in a remake of “Harvey” and cannot quite disguise her complete lack of interest in him. Perhaps most notably, she has gone down in the history books as the first celebrity to lend their voice to a character on “The Simpsons,” playing the nefarious Babysitter Bandit in an episode meant to serve as the show’s premiere until technical difficulties caused it to run as the finale of that first season.

Besides her success as a filmmaker and as an actress, Marshall received a number of other accolades over the years. She received three Golden Globe nominations for her work on “Laverne & Shirley,” was one of the recipients of the Elle Women in Hollywood Icon Awards in 1997 alongside Meryl Streep, Jane Campion and Laura Ziskin and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004. In 2012, she published her memoir My Mother Was Nuts, in which she recounted her long and groundbreaking career as an actress and a filmmaker, thoughtfully filling that book with plenty of amusing anecdotes about the people she met along the way. It's a work that's as funny, charming, unpretentious, and entertaining as the woman who wrote it.
